One plus one plus two plus three equals what?

Posted on October 4, 2015December 15, 2019by Gaurav Parekh

Tomorrow is race day. Unless the pain in my neck returns or some other mishap happens, I will run the 10k in Tempe for Maggie’s Place. There are also 5k, 9k and 15k races taking place tomorrow. Since the field will be divided into 4 groups, there is a decent chance that I will medal […]

Smoke detector issues and lack of sleep

Posted on October 2, 2015December 15, 2019by Gaurav Parekh

Today is our 20th anniversary. 20 done, 50 more to go! 🙂 I rested today. I did not sleep well last night. The smoke detector in our bedroom started chirping. It is way up on the ceiling.  I’m not sure if my ladder is tall enough to reach it. We don’t have a 9-volt battery to […]

Pyramid Intervals; Mistake!

Posted on September 30, 2015December 15, 2019by Gaurav Parekh

I woke up this morning at 3AM with excruciating pain in my neck. Many years ago, I had a root canal on one of my lower left molars. The neck pain was centered around that area. I thought something was wrong with it. I got out of bed, drank water and waited for the pain […]

Is there a screw loose in my ankle?

Posted on May 6, 2015December 15, 2019by Gaurav Parekh

Random, but I saw these definitions of success and am putting them up in the blog. Funny but true! My left ankle still feels weird. I can’t say that it hurts but it feels loose. I know it sounds strange but it feels floppy; like there is a screw in there somewhere that needs to […]

Is another Ironman in my future?

Posted on May 2, 2015December 15, 2019by Gaurav Parekh

This morning, my left ankle hurt a bit worse than it did yesterday but by evening it was already starting to feel better. I’m quite sure it will be fine by Sunday. Needless to say, I rested today. It was about a year ago that I was hospitalized with all my medical issues. A year […]

Off to Greece and France in a couple of weeks

Posted on May 1, 2015December 15, 2019by Gaurav Parekh

I ran for 26+ miles  at the Boston Marathon last week and nothing hurt (other than soreness). I slept hard last night only to wake up to an ankle that hurts. This time, it’s my left ankle and the pain is not quite as acute as the one I had on my right ankle before […]

Kissing girls at the Boston Marathon

Posted on April 9, 2015December 15, 2019by Gaurav Parekh

I met Nicole today. She was giving a Boston Marathon talk at Sole Sports this evening. Nicole has run 10 Bostons. She will run her 11th with me on April 20. It was a small audience but her talk was insightful. The history, the culture of the race, the pre-race registration, the speeches and seminars, […]

Another day of ankle pain

Posted on April 8, 2015December 15, 2019by Gaurav Parekh

My ankle pain flares up early in the morning. This morning too at around 4AM I experienced some excruciating pain but fortunately it didn’t last long. My theory is that my ankle stiffens up at night and I feel it when I wake up. After I move it around a bit, the blood flow relaxes […]

Ankle pain continues

Posted on April 7, 2015December 15, 2019by Gaurav Parekh

I woke up at 4AM with throbbing pain on the outside of my upper right ankle. Something was definitely wrong but there was no swelling. I walked around a bit to loosen it up but that didn’t help. I went back to bed and tried to sleep it off but tossed and turned for the […]

Running 11+ miles on a sore ankle

Posted on April 5, 2015December 15, 2019by Gaurav Parekh

I woke up with a sore right ankle. Last night it was totally fine but this morning there is a very peculiar soreness just above the ankle on the outside of my right foot. From reading about it, it looks like the peroneus tertius muscle (or tendon) is somewhat irritated. The strange thing is that […]
